About the Rochester Bridge Trust The first bridge at Rochester was built by the Romans soon after the invasion of Britain in AD43. Once the Romans left, their bridge was maintained by the local people of Kent until the 14th century. In 1381, the River Medway froze solid and, when the thaw came, the ice and floodwater swept away the Roman Bridge. Two benefactors built a new stone bridge one hundred yards upstream which was opened in September 1391. Their names were Sir John de Cobham and Sir Robert Knolles. Together the benefactors also persuaded their friends and acquaintances to make donations of land and money for the perpetual maintenance of Rochester Bridge. In 1399, King Richard II granted letters patent which allowed the Rochester Bridge Trust to be set up to care for the bridge and its property.

C’est le plus vieux de tous les ponts sur le Rhône reliant la Provence au Languedoc. Il a longtemps constitué un point de passage obligé sur le fleuve. Il est composé de 26 arches (19 grandes et 7 petites). Sa construction fut voulue et décidée par le frère de saint Louis, le comte de Poitiers et de Toulouse Alphonse de Poitiers. Elle commença en 1265 pour s’achever en 1309. D’après l’architecte Viollet-le-Duc, elle fut confiée à la branche pontife des Hospitaliers (la branche des constructeurs de ponts, formée par ces moines-soldats pour faciliter les pèlerinages). Aurais-je autant d’amour et de passion pour vous conter “Les Ponts” que j’en ai eu pour les construire ? AVERTISSEMENT Cet essai n’est pas une encyclopédie exhaustive sur l’art des ponts. Il constitue un regard passionné, curieux et pédagogique sur ces ouvrages qui ont marqué ma vie professionnelle et personnelle. édito Le Pont !

In other words, bridge-building in the last century was at the rate of 10 to 15 per annum ; previous to 1745 only 2 or 3 per annum ; and before that, from the records gathered, one bridge per annum (and seldom even that) seems to have been the average rate of construction. In these circumstances, it is fair to assume that, allowing for broken bridges, there would not be many stone bridges prior to 1400.

Some are like steamers that go in a regulated course J direct to their destinations, while others tack here and there like sailing ships, governed by a zigzag pro- gress.
